As a musician, specifically a bassist, my main concern is quality. I've mostly played Fender instruments in the thirty some odd years I've been playing. Having said that, I have experienced what a quality US made P-Bass vs say an Indonesian built Ibanez BTB feels. Although the quality of the Ibanez instruments wasn't all that bad, it just didn't feel "right" to me. I currently own two US made Fender basses (American Standard P and fretless J) and I use US made D'Addario strings.
